Do you think having a drink during lunch with clients or your team is ever appropriate? I’m not the one to suggest it, but if a client brings it up or there’s some peer pressure, I’ll usually go along. Sometimes it can make the lunch feel more relaxed and conversational, but other times I wonder if it crosses a line. Curious others' perspectives.

When presented with designed screens for an app and asked to review it and finalise it, how long will it take you to pick up the trail and come back to the client with feedback? Say around 10 screens.

How much would a CD earns in an Singaporean agency?

I’ve been at my company for 8 months. I just found out another designer who has been here for several years gets an annual bonus at the end of the fiscal year. I have never been told about a bonus and haven’t gotten one yet for the previous fiscal year that ended In July. Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?
